Beaufoy |
|
| Honestly though, the ancestors of the modern day Beaufoy families really did arrive in Britain with William the Conquerer, who was actually related albeit by marriage a few generations previously. | ||
| Back in 1066, the surname was Beaufou. William de Beaufou was Bishop of Thetford around 1085. His son, Richard, became Archdeacon of Norwich in 1107. | ||
| After approximately 500 years worth of much begat-ting, 'Beaufoy' became a household name. Henry Beaufoy was born in 1605, son of Thomas Beaufou of Guyscliffe. Thomas had two brothers, Henry and Joseph. Of this pair, the latter had 3 sons called Griffin, Samuel and Robert. It's the line from Griffin that leads eventually to me. | ||
| Griffin and his family lived in and around Meriden and Evesham, which are in the Midlands, in England. One of Griffin's great-grandsons, who happened to be my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Samuel, lived in Town Sutton, Kent (1749-1823). | ||
